This Watch Is Packed With Features For $12

My older boys are 13 and 12 years old.  They’re mostly out of the “big kid” stage and are moving into the teen years. They want fancy things but don’t always take care of them.  Like watches for instance. I refuse to spend more than $15 for a watch for them. In they’re life they’ve each probably had about 3 or 4 watches. None of which the whereabouts are known. So when my 12 year old says “I forgot to charge my phone so I didn’t know what time it was” for about the 12th time, I decided he needed another watch.

Aposon Men’s digital sport watch seemed the way to go.  It gave my son cool features he’d like and I feel I got more bang for my buck.

This watch has a large digital face. It has a stop watch feature. It keeps time in both standard and military time. It has an alarm feature and a back light. It’s also water resistant up to 164ft (50 M, 5 ATM.) It also has displays the day, month, and year.

The wrist band is comfortable to wear and made of rubber so it’s durable.  My only complaint about this watch is that it’s obvious the instructions were written by someone who struggles with the English language.  Even at that, I was able to figure it out with the instructions. My son is happy that he has a Men’s watch and I’m happy that he’s happy and didn’t have to spend a fortune.  Now, anyone want to start a poll to see how long he keeps possession of this watch?

Baltic Amber Anklets for Baby

When my daughter was not quite a year old. I got her a baltic amber teething necklace.  I had heard they they could help with teething pain and other pain. Baltic amber contains succinic acid said to be a natural pain reliever.  I’ll be honest, since my daughter couldn’t talk much at the time I really don’t know how much it helped with pain.  I do remember not having to give her as much infant tylenol or orajel as I did with my boys.

My daugther wore her necklace often and still wears it today.  If I take it off and forget to put it back on she asks where her necklace is.  She is 3 years old now. Plus that fact that it looks super cute on her.  When I had the chance to review baltic amber ankle bracelets from Pretty Baby,  I figured sure why  not.

The package I received had 5 different colors of baltic amber ankle bracelets.  Beautiful rich colors.  It also came with a certificate of authenticity.

Since my daughter is 3 she was able to wear it as a bracelet which she preferred.  If using on a baby though, they advise you to use it as an anklet and cover it with a sock so your baby isn’t pulling on it or trying to chew on it.

Which brings me to another point.  Baltic Amber jewelry is not meant for babies/toddlers to put in their mouth and teeth on.  It is meant to wear and let the succinic acid help with the pain.

My daughter loves her new “bracelets” and a couple match her necklace. These bracelets are made well and the colors are beautiful. You can find the set of 5 that I received on Amazon:

Why I’m Taking Downy Wrinkle Releaser Plus On Vacation This Year

We only go on a for real vacation every other year.  Mostly because it is a big cost for a family of 6 on a budget and also because I don’t think I’d ever be able to talk my husband into it every year.  One reason I lobby for a vacation at least every other year is because. This momma needs a real vacation.  You moms know, that being at home for a week is never going to be relaxing.  We always have the need to clean, cook, do laundry, iron (oh I loathe ironing), use the time to take care of things we’ve been meaning to take care of like maybe making that appointment we’ve been putting off.  I told my husband, when we go on vacation and stay at a hotel or in a resort someone else is doing the cleaning, someone else is making the beds, we go out to eat more (so less cooking for me). Sure I’m still picking up after the kids, yes I’m still using the hotel laundry machine, but I’m expected to do less when we’re on vacation.

My hubby told me if I could find a place for us to stay under a certain amount then we could go out to eat every night.  That was a challenge I accepted gladly.  Not only did a find a nice place with prime location but I found several.  I showed him. He liked all of them.  So he says yep we stay somewhere like that we can go out to eat every night we’re there. So, now I don’t have to cook, Yay!
Then the ironing thing.  I try not to take things with us that need ironed but I usually take at least one nice outfit with us in case we need it for a particular restaurant or something.  And there’s always at least a couple of those things that need ironed.  This year I’m taking Downy Wrinkle Releaser Plus travel size with us.

Oh and my beach travel tip. If you want to be close to the beach but don’t want to spend an arm and a leg, try less commercial beaches. I initially was searching Myrtle Beach, Rehoboth, Outer Banks, etc.  I was starting to get frustrated until I started doing broad searches like “North Carolina beaches” “South Carolina Beaches”  Places like Topsail Island, Wrightsville beach, and Isle of Palms were about half the cost of the more commercial beaches for the same time frame. The one place I found even has several ocean front rooms still available and it was one of the most affordable of all of them!

Affordable Outdoor Volleyball For Summer Fun

We have family picnics over the summer.  We usually take turns with who hosts it. One constant thing though is a family volleyball game.  I used to play volleyball in highschool.  I coached youth volleyball for a couple years. I also played on a outdoor team at one of the local parks.  After playing volleyball for years I’ve come to know which volleyballs are garbage and which ones are pretty good.  I’ve used volleyballs that were so hard and had no bounce that they actually caused black and blue marks on my forearms and were painful to try to bump. Not all volleyballs are made for outdoors. did you know that there’s outdoor and indoor volleyballs?

The Vetra soft touch volleyball is perfect for family volleyball games, church volleyball tournaments, and more.  It has a nice bounce, it looks nice, and best of all it doesn’t hurt when you use it. It’s also affordable at only about $13 on Amazon.  It’s soft enough and easy to grip that even my 3 year old daughter loves playing catch with it.

So if you’re planning a trip to the beach, a family picnic, or organizing a group volleyball game. Grab some of these!
